P E S A W A T K U

Alkisah menghitung hari
Di taman kanak-kanak
Kelinci putih hendak berlari
Menyeret layang-layang hijaunya
ditimpa angin yang sedikit lebih berisik
Ia bergegas, berlarian tanpa henti
Menerobos ranting yang patah 
Daun yang menguning
Embun yang berseliweran, membikin kabut
Ia menyebutnya awal mula kehidupan
Sebab ketika matahari yang belum juga panas muncul
mencium keningnya dan berucap: Pergilah!
Tak ada yang menantikanmu pulang
Kecuali keberangkatan

Lalu diterbangkannya layang-layang itu
Dibiarkannya meninggi
Bumi nampak semakin jauh 
Seekor kelinci pun sendiri
Namun ia teringat selembar kertas origami
Terkapar di atas bangku
Sisa kemarin, atau beberapa hari yang lalu

Dan ranting patah yang terbentur ke tanah
Daun yang mulai gompel dan koyak
Begitu pun embun perlahan menipis
Diambilnya semua
Dibungkuskan ke selembar kertas
Begitu pun mimpi-mimpinya
Tak satu pun tersisa

Kelinci putih pun melipat tubuh kertas 
Satu persatu makin rapat, meruncing, dan seimbang
Dalam hitungan ke tiga, dibuangnya pesawat kertas itu
Membawa jiwanya, mengembara

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea?

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
